The giraffe on the second day looks quite well adapted, amazing how quick they learn \O
Thanks for the ID Klipspringer \O

Nice coucal O/\
Yes, the giraffe was properly trotting along the next day... and the adults had given up chasing it as well lol

It was something a bit different! We didn't stick around to see how it ended but I kind of think it would probably have been funny to watch \O

Ai we had a thread on it somewhere in the old days! ..0..

It doesn't have to be so swollen up all the time! lol

Lovely to see the giraffe survive, I suspect it is a a nightmare for the parents on the first night! O-/
Aha! Strange creatures indeed :yes:

Lovely to see the baby giraffe again O:V
Thanks Mel... He/She would be a fine catch I'm sure ;-)

Fri 29th June contd

Not too far along the S28 our lion timing turned out to be impeccable again as this young chap hopped onto the road in front of us O\/ O\/

Image

It was another group of 3 lions, and by the looks of things a similar family setup to our previous sighting with a mom lioness and 2 almost full grown youngsters (boy & girl)... the mom appeared to have lost an eye :shock:

Image

The girls weren't being very cooperative and wandered along behind some bushes, but the boy turned out to be another poser O:V

Image

Image

Image

Image

The younger lioness eventually came out to say hi to us \O

Image

They carried on next to us for a little while before disappearing off deep into the bush

Lovely light again, Peej!

Impeccable timing, as you say. :shock:
The males often seem to have totally different priorities in life... lol

Well, the boy(s) could pose because they are good-looking... and they probably know it lol

Brilliant pix O:V
